Tragedy strikes during a Las Vegas music festival Sunday night into Monday morning, as a gun man rained down in rapid-fire onto innocent lives for nearly four and a half minutes straight.

​The shooting occurred during Jason Aldean's set at the Route 91 Harvest Festival outside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The music was halted with concert-goers yelling to "get down" and "stay down".
